Required For Successful Transfer: meet with your advisor for every step of the transfer process.
Transfer to YC
Get Started with our Transfer Student Checklist
YC is a great place to continue your education. If you have previous college coursework, send your official transcripts from your previous college directly to the Yavapai College Registrar. Official transcripts will be evaluated to determine how much credit will be granted for transfer courses toward satisfying Yavapai College degree and certificate requirements. Students should meet with an academic advisor to achieve maximum benefit when establishing an academic plan.
NOTE Yavapai College accepts credits from regionally accredited institutions. Only courses 100-level or above with a grade of "C" or better will be considered for transfer credit and will be evaluated based on course descriptions and learning outcomes.
Transfer from YC to a University
Get Started with our Guide to a Successful University Transfer
We have partnerships with several universities to help students make a smooth transition into their bachelor's degree. YC students receive dedicated advisement to help with academic planning and preparation for transfer. As students meet with their advisor throughout their journey, they receive tips and resources to make a successful transfer.
Start at YC in High School (Early College students)
Get Started with our Early College team
Yavapai College offers courses for college credit at high schools throughout Yavapai County. Our early college advisors help students plan their path for continuing into a bachelor's degree and work with students in understanding important differences between the Freshman and Transfer designation when applying for admissions and scholarships.
NOTE: A Freshman is a student with fewer than 12 college credits earned after completing high school or GED; college credits earned before high school graduation or GED do not affect freshman status. A transfer student has 12 or more college credits earned after completing high school.
Finish your YC Program (Reverse Transfer)
Get Started with our Advising team
Students who transfer to a university without completing their associate's degree are given the opportunity to combine community college and university credits to determine if missing associate degree requirements have been met. Connect with our advising team to see if this might work for you.

Your Guide to a Successful University Transfer
Preparation and planning is important for a smooth transfer. The process at each college varies - work with your YC advisor and University Admissions Advisor throughout. When everyone is involved, you are less likely to lose credits and more likely to stay on track to a college degree.
Use this downloadable guide (.pdf) to complete important tasks throughout your program. Each step includes recommended benchmarks and valuable tools with timelines that will assist with keeping you on track for your transfer that you can view below.
- Complete YC Pipeline Career Assessment
- Declare the YC program that aligns with career interest and future transfer goals. Important Notes!
- Associate of Arts and Associate of Science students must select electives that align with your area of focus for transfer. To select appropriate electives, students should meet with their advisor and use Suggested Course Sequences and Major Guides
- Associate of General Studies does not have an AGEC built into program requirements and students must work with their advisor to determine if this is an appropriate degree for transfer based on your goals.
